The Executive Secretary of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has successfully filed his nomination to contest the Kwesimintsim Constituency primary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Dr Prince Hamid Armah filed barely 24 hours after picking forms at the Kwesimintsim Constituency office, Thursday.
He was in the company of some past and present party executives, council of elders, polling station executives, party supporters as well as some friends and well-wishers when he submitted the forms.
In the presence of the Constituency Chairman and other constituency executives, Dr Armah promised to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks and insults.
Dr Armah also assured the executives of his readiness to avail himself to the Constituency Executive Committee for a meeting with the incumbent MP to fashion out modalities on how to make the party more resolute and united after the primaries.
It is still not clear yet how many people will be contesting the primary for the Kwesimintsim Constituency, which has been a safe seat for the governing party.
Therefore, the winner of the primary is expected to retain the seat for the Party.
Pundits have predicted a two horse-race between the incumbent Joseph Mensah and Dr Prince Armah ahead of the primary scheduled to be held on April 25.
“Voters in the constituency, particularly supporters of the NPP appear to have lost faith in the current leadership and there have been several calls for new leadership,” the NaCCA boss said shortly after filing his nomination.
He added, “I bring to this race a ray of hope and the opportunity to influence the lives of the people of Kwesimintsim.”
The aspirants are expected to be vetted from February 28, 2020, to March 8, 2020.
